Do you tend to use a firm to do your taxes for you or do you do them yourself? Just got contacted by a consulting firm that has offered to do them for me for a small fee, but I have done them myself for years. Do they actually save me that much compared to what I know? I only have a W-2 and investment income.

I use an investment manager and they do taxes as part of the deal

I’m paying more than I should since my portfolio isn’t big, but I’ve burned myself in the past and want someone else doing the trading.
